She Still Wants You

Not The Club Type

Meagan's POV 

I woke up in the morning, with a hangover pounding my head. "Uush, Where am I?" I stare around the room looking for something I could use to help me identify where I am. I get out of the bed, and my head feels like it is about to drop off. Looking down, I saw my clothes on the floor. "Oh s**t I slept with him" I say to myself after realizing am in Jeff's room. Judging by the scenario I didn't need anyone to explain what happened, I had slept with Jeff last night! "I have to find Kae, this wasn't part of the plan." I said to myself softly shaking my head as I dressed up. "How will I look in Oscar's eyes after this." self hatred, and my inner critic hired panic thoughts which surrounded my mind trying to rob my sanity. I closed my mind from welcoming any thoughts until I found Kae. I really needed to talk to her. 

I started searching for my purse. "I have to call Kae,... I have to talk to Kae" I said to myself repeatedly as I looked for my purse.

"Good morning sunshine, breakfast is ready" Jeff said as he entered the room carrying a tray of delicious looking food.  

I ignored the sweet aroma of the meal to ask Jeff where my purse was, making it clear that all I wanted to do, is to call Kae and get going home. Jeff somehow managed to calm me down and also convinced me to have a meal before leaving. 

"Your stuff is safe, your phone, mobile photography accessories and personal items are intact." He says to assure me that my purse is in good hands. We talked as we were eating. Jeff made me laugh and smile throughout, I hardly felt shy or nervous. For a while I had even forgot about what happened last night.Immediately I left Jeff's house and my haunting thoughts came back into my head. I slide back to my remorseful mood. I decided to call Kae, knowing she was worried about me. I had missed fifty of her calls, she had been calling since last night."Baby girl!, is it you?" Kae quickly picked up the call like she was holding her phone expecting it. "Kae,... I...,- I....." I kept stuttering as a lot of wild thoughts crowded my mind each time I tried to say a word. My disturbed mood couldn't let me construct a sentence."Breathe baby girl, take a deep breathe,... Okay so where are you?" Kae helped me calm down a bit.",... Am on my way home from Jeff's apartment,..." I pull back the mucus that was trying to escape my nose. 

"...., Oh hurry come home, you'll find me at your apartment" Kae said noticing my state.  I quickly got on a taxi heading home. Then Oscar called while I was on my way, I couldn't pickup the call. Fear and guilty possessed me, my mind started playing games with me, "Could it be, he heard about what happened last night and was calling to confirm the story" paranoid thoughts quickly flooded my small head. 

"What will I say if I pick up? I just have to act normal" voices in my head started getting loud. Am too nervous I can't elude the part of me breaking down into confession. So I let the call cut itself then I put the phone on silent. After a short while the driver dropped me off in front of my house, I got out of the taxi paying my taxi fare in a rush, I didn't even care about the change. I quickly walked to the door.

"Kae!,... Kate!" I called out for Kae as I entered. 

"Am coming!" Kae responded coming to receive me, upon seeing Kae my defense gave up on me, letting out my remorse as I burst in tears. Kae wrapped her hands round me giving me a warm, tight hug that I really needed.We went to the living room, to talk about it properly.  "I-I-I... slept with someone else last night" it was only after I took a couple of deep breathes that's when I managed to tell Kae the headline of what happened last night, that was after three attempts that were choked by depression. 

"We all make mistakes baby girl, don't be too hard on yourself" Kae says padding my back giving me her shoulder to cry on. 

"..., How will I look at Oscar in the eyes after this?" I weep on Kae's shoulder letting out my regrets.

"Let it out baby girl, you'll be fine" Kae continued padding my back fir a while. 

"So how did it happen?, the last time I saw you was when I went to talk answer a call outside. Then I met Scott on my way back. And you know how he likes chill chatting"  Kae asked while answering my question of what took her so long. 

"The bar tender had told me that you just had gone to dance, with some cute guy,..." Kae says her side of the story.

"When you left me by the counter a cute guy came to keep company, his name is Jeff Kauten. He is cool and fun, he bought me a bottle of amarula which you refused to buy." I saying slowly while reminiscing every moment as I tell it. 

"Don't give me the look, you needed something strong" Kae defended herself against my josh.

"We talked for a while then we went to dance, I think that's when you came back." I smile reliving through Jeff's jokes and compliments when we were dancing.

"Then the alcohol got the best of me, I kissed him out of a sudden, he kissed me back, and we kissed like a couple making up from a fight.  Shortly we discretely left the function, and that's when my brain stopped recording my memories. Next thing I remember is waking up in his bed with only an underwear on me. Jeff told me everything that had happened as we were having breakfast." I kept taking in a low tone with my head on Kae's laps."If I had refused to take those shots I wouldn't have got myself in this mess, and now I don't know what to tell Oscar......, He called me when I was in the taxi as I was coming." I shed a tear thinking of what I have done to him.

"You will tell him the truth to set your conscience free from being guilty around him, you will tell him we went clubbing last night then you over drunk and messed up and that's all you remember,...." before Kae finished explaining her move, 'vrrmmm, vrrmmm' my phone vibrated Oscar was calling. I start panicking staring at the phone in my hand I know don't what to do, should I pick up and tell Oscar everything or just let it ring all day long till the battery dies. 

While I was still lost in my thoughts Kae snatched the phone from my hand. Snapping back to reality Kae was talking to Oscar on my behalf.

"Yes buh she is sleeping, she has a bad hangover, I took her out last night" Kae replied looking up as she is waiting for Oscar's reply. "Puusshh... Kate, Kate, Kate, what's with you and going out. I told you a thousand times about taking Meagan to funny places. Let's hope she didn't mess around with other guys. If I hear any bad stories, Kate. I promise you, I'll make you pay for it."

My heart skips a beat upon hearing Oscar's threat. I don't want them to fight over me again. I don't like it when they fight over me, it always splits me apart. I don't know whom to support. It feels like an emotional tag of war between Kae my ride or die best friend and Oscar the love of my life. 

Kae rolls her eyes at Oscar's threat. Its not the first time Oscar threatens her like that. I understand Kae's reaction like she probably got used to it now.

"Aaah, am sorry buh she did get involved with a guy when she was drunk, buh it was nothing serious just some sucker who fell for her hips as she was dancing, and I took care of it. That's basically what happened and you have nothing to worry about. Otherwise that's our story buh obviously there will be rumors you know how people are." Kae calmly replied Oscar like she was some young C.E.O on a business call. 

"Hhhhuh...., better pray I don't find another convincing story, or even find the truth on my own...., You'll tell Mae I want to see her...., Oh and Kate don't lead my girl astray, the club life is not her thing, she is a good girl and I want her to stay that way" I could feel the pain in Oscar's voice, he is scared to lose me to the club life. He is right am not the clubbing type, especially after what happened last night.

"Alright I got you..., Thuuu..., baby girl" Kae lets out a sigh as she hangs up the call.

"What do I do now?" I look at Kae and I could see the desperation in my eyes as I see my reflection in her eyes. 

"I think its time for you to go back to your quiet and boring life..., Now that you've gave Oscar something to worry about, your part now is to keep it cool." Kae chuckles as she replies. 

"And about that Jeff guy, we'll see how things will be. He might be useful to make Oscar jealous, buh you'll need to work on your attitude." Kae says her thought 

"I was thinking maybe I should just tell Oscar the truth about why I moved out" I say out my thought making Kae aware of how am slowly losing my grip of the plan.

"You know what? that's enough of stressful topics let's go cook something. Am spoiling you today, say what you want to eat and I'll prepare it for you." Kae says going to the kitchen.

"Let's just order pizza or I help you cook, otherwise on your own you can't cook" I say following Kae.

"I missed roasted chicken and spaghetti its been a while. I can down a whole chicken alone" Kae says looking in the fridge. ..........Kae kept me company through the day. I had fun, we watched movies after cooking. Kae even slept over.
